Leading the Chamber into the Future
The Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce Board of Advisors, created in 1994, provides an additional and continued source of leadership for the Chamber in the 21st century.
How the Board of Advisors Works
Because of the quality and depth of business leadership in Wake County and the Research Triangle region, the Chamber and the community benefit from the knowledge, experience and interest of corporate CEOs and other business executives not currently serving on the Chamber’s Board of Directors. The Board of Advisors meets with the Board of Directors four times a year to offer input on current business and community issues.
Who is Eligible
Companies that make a membership investment of $2,000 or more annually may designate a representative to serve on the Chamber’s Board of Advisors.
Who Participates
More than 250 companies are represented on the Board of Advisors.
Events
- Four Board of Advisors meetings each year in conjunction with the Chamber’s Board of Directors; networking receptions follow each afternoon meeting.
- Biannual new Board of Advisors member orientations with a substantive review of business and community issues from Chamber President Harvey Schmitt and the chairman of the board.
- Three special speaker events scheduled throughout the year to further inform Board of Advisors members on current business and community issues.
